10 Reasons why you should travel around Australia

(Taken from the hundreds of reasons I can think of)

1) Many feel it is currently safer to holiday in Australia than to travel overseas. Unfortunately terrorism is an increasingly scary issue and one that we now have to consider when travelling overseas. I am not naïve enough to believe that Australia is immune to these attacks but it still feels safer to stay at home. New Zealand is an even safer option but that cancels out all the other reasons! (Although we did do both countries on our grand tour)

2) Our tourism industry and our economy rely heavily on domestic tourism. It’s good for our country to spend our tourist dollars at home (in the broad sense of the word) and your dollar is worth a dollar! The thousands of dollars you would spend on airfares and hotel rooms if you went overseas will instead get you tens of thousands of km up the road or it will buy you a caravan that you can also keep for future family holidays or it will pay off your credit cards before you go…

3) You can actually get to see and know your own country. So many
Australians have travelled or even lived overseas and have seen more of the other continents than their own.

4) You can visit all the people you know around the country but hardly ever get to see.

5) You are totally free to go when and where you please because you have your own transport and house with you at all times!

6) The trip will give your children (and yourselves) amazing childhood memories they will never forget.

7) It will allow you the opportunity to spend REAL quality time with your family.

8) It gives you the excuse to buy a new 4WD.

9) You will develop a new appreciation for your house and your belongings.

10) Travel will open your mind. It will expose you to new ideas and possibilities and awaken your senses. You will feel stimulated and alive like you may not have felt for a while!
